I think the answer is the word "territories" in the last sentence in the first paragraph "As the centuries went on, however, Christian forces began to take control of Spanish territories."

Explanation:

The word "territories" is just a plural for of the word "territory", which means:

ter·ri·to·ry

/ˈterəˌtôrē/

noun

Definition:

1. An area of land under the jurisdiction of a ruler or state.

"sorties into enemy territory"

Similar:

2.(especially in the US, Canada, or Australia) an organized division of a country that is not yet admitted to the full rights of a state.

Hope this helps! ;)

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.

yes they most likly are and have planed t try to bring human life and supplies there also(due to global warming and other harmful resorces)
